Project Number 1

Summary:

Three products were identified at being effective in cleaning the adhesive and flux from the various substrates. These products were evaluated on-site to determine real world effectiveness.

Test Objective:

To eliminate the use of IPA at one operation in their factory

Product Use:

solar panels
Trial Number Date Run Purpose Success Rating
0 03/19/2008 To evaluate selected products for the removal of adhesive and fingerprints from glass surface using manual cleaning. Results successful using TACT (time, agitation, concentration, and temperature, as well as rinsing and drying) and/or other cleaning chemistries examined.
1 03/24/2008 To evaluate successful products on second supplied contaminant. Results successful using TACT (time, agitation, concentration, and temperature, as well as rinsing and drying) and/or other cleaning chemistries examined.
2 03/24/2008 To evaluate selected products for odor comparison to current product A follow up test, usually based on company input.
3 03/25/2008 To evaluate top products on supplied part using manual wiping. Results suggest a scale-up feasible match for cleaning chemistry and equipment. Pilot plant study with actual parts recommended.
4 03/25/2008 To evaluate top performing products on second supplied contaminant. Results successful using TACT (time, agitation, concentration, and temperature, as well as rinsing and drying) and/or other cleaning chemistries examined.
5 04/03/2008 To evaluate compatibility of top cleaning alternatives with the tin metal strips used in the manufacture of solar cells. A cleanliness study, addressing only various analytical techniques.
6 06/17/2008 To evaluate lower VOC products for adhesive removal A follow up test, usually based on company input.
7 06/17/2008 To evaluate compatibility of cleaning products with paper backing material A cleanliness study, addressing only various analytical techniques.
8 06/18/2008 To evaluate the three follow up products on removing the EVA film from glass surface. Results suggest a scale-up feasible match for cleaning chemistry and equipment. Pilot plant study with actual parts recommended.
9 06/18/2008 To evaluate follow up product on flux removal. Results suggest a scale-up feasible match for cleaning chemistry and equipment. Pilot plant study with actual parts recommended.
